To sum up tonight's Game of Thrones:
-Dany is literally the worst
-whole show could have been extended Jaime/Brienne & that would be fine
-Tyrion/Davos/Varys deadpans are best
-at this point, pretty sure ending will be reboot of the cycle: new undead. New wall. New feud of houses
And maybe that's always been the point of the Martin books. We're terrible, we make decisions that keep us terrible, and it takes real monsters to contain our demons, and the barrier keeping the two from war is the impossibly thin line of decent men. And those die first.
Usually horribly.
P.S. Where are the f***ing wolves?

Great day to celebrate the end of first Russian hybrid warfare class at Gtown!

Thanks to @john_sipher, @peterbakernyt, @general_ben Hodges, Amb @vseviov, @mikercarpenter, ESTSOF's Col Uhtegi, @jimsciutto + more for guest speaking to my class!

Y'all get an official class mug 💋
**Jamo-based porch drink optional

Mugs of thanks also to the many informal advisers & friends who helped me develop the syllabus & evaluate class projects -- and to excellent students of my inaugural class.

Couldn't have a better bunch heading out into the world to fix things!
Such a pleasure & an honor to teach this class. Nothing forces you to hone your arguments better than sharp iron in the classroom. Newfound appreciation for the people who taught me so much when the material spans military doctrine, current events, history -- & high emotions. ;)

A 6th grader named Nate Holley, who is 12, but seems impossibly young, just described how he was hanging onto a metal baseball bat in a closet because there were shooters outside the door of his classroom, and if he was going to go down, he he was going to go down fighting.
"Be brave," we tell our children. But what we are asking of this generation is insanity.

"We had a couple drills this year," he says, "but no one really knew what to do."

Nor should you, kid. This isn't red dawn.
Thank you, @SteveHolley_ , for sharing your story, and letting your son share his.

Kids in Idaho watched the sky for radioactive Chernobyl clouds. Company my dad worked for re-entombed the blown reactor. I did a school project on meltdown. Stories from the crisis from ex-Soviet friends: haunting. It helped end the USSR.

High expectations -- hope this delivers
Btw in HBO "Klitschko" doc, there's this amazing sequence where Wladimir walks around an abandoned military base in Ukraine where his father, a Soviet helicopter pilot, was based during Chernobyl, flying missions to dump sh*t into the reactor and stop the meltdown...
... He describes how no one knew what was going on, and the helicopters would come back, and be hosed down, and the water (and radioactive dust) would collect in two retaining pools, and the kids would play in the water with their boats.

It's just haunting.

I love how the first ten minutes of #BattleOfWinterfell is just a montage of nervous people staring at the dark

#GameOfThrones
Holy shit that opening battle sequence was brilliant

The swordlights winking out. Like hope flickering away.

Honored to receive such eloquent words, thank you, and thanks to everyone for the kind birthday wishes! For me it is always been about trying to make a difference, and that’s something everyone can do.
Tonight’s Game of Thrones premiere would normally be an excellent birthday present, but unfortunately I’m going to be on a plane to a speaking appearance in Las Vegas. So no spoilers!
Sorry, tomorrow of course, is when I'm flying during the show! And I was also abroad and missed the Radio City premier last week, so maybe I'll get lucky with HBO on my flight?!

SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A MEDIEVAL EUROPE-BASED FANTASY BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AN UNORIGINAL TOLKEIN/MARTIN CLONE: A THREAD OF SUGGESTIONS
Look we think of the Middle Ages in Europe as a dour procession of plagues and God stuff. And there were plenty of plagues and lots of God stuff! And also rugged manly bearded knights on white steeds with noble eyes or whatever. But that's boring.
We have ten billion words already about KNIGHTS and HONOR and BATTLE and HAM and whatever else plumps up Game of Thrones' wordcount. But you know the Middle Ages are like a fantasy bug zapper, drawing us in with its sweet glowy light only to char us in a zap of IT'S BEEN DONE

1) @ThomasWictor CNN has just put out a hit piece on Saudi Crown Prince MbS.
cnn.it/2hjAPaI
2) Fake new CNN is comparing him to the Game of Thrones fantasy novels & TV series. Article doesn't make him out to be a Stark so he must be a Lannister. Or maybe a Targaryen? But where are the dragons? And who's the dwarf? I'm confused already.
3) Such a ridiculous comparison to make. But of course their viewers will split their skulls, once again, to make it fester in their minds. Because of course to them CNN is not fake news.🙄
